The system is not always right nor is it fair, honest, or serving the purpose of protection of children. I agree that children are used as a means to make money with no or little regard to their emotional needs. Workers for the state don't get the facts straight, form opinions, and have too much on their caseload to make legitimate decisions about placement. For anyone suffering this injustice my heart and prayers go out to youREPORT COMMENTS

I need help, justice. Bring my baby daughter Serenity Azarya Lynne Mullen home to me, her mother. I never got a chance to parent her. We belong together. I'm in Scott County, Iowa. DHS kidnapped my baby from the hospital from me for no legit reason. Their reason is because my rights got terminated to my 3 older daughters. DHS is evil. Kim VYVERBERG is evil. She/they (DHS) lies, makes up stories, creates allegations and assumptions with no proof of anything and she, they get away with it. Abuse is what they do to my child and myself. They went and are still going against ALL MY RIGHTS YOU CAN NAME!!!! This is why mothers are committing suicide all over the world because of DHS/CPS can do whatever they want and please, no questions asked, no proof of their allegations and assumptions and just alienate our children. Child trafficking children. Kidnap them from us (their biological parents who love them and don't abuse or neglect them. #TAKEN I JUST WANT MY BABY. I WANT TO PARENT MY BABY. What DHS/CPS does is absolutely beyond sick. They are the ones that are extremely mentally ill/sick. They need help.REPORT COMMENTS

I feel for all of you as I am going through a similar event. Mother of 4 same violation of civil rights no one seems to want to help. my children have been held for me for almost a year only 4 hours a week supervised visitation because of false allegations. No evidence but hearsay and still the judge agrees with DHS and accusers. No probable cause and proving no imminent danger. I agree this is tantamount 2 Gestapo KGB communist tactics. First 4th 5th 6th 14th all violated. Lawyers telling us we don't know what we're talking about. That we're making things up. Trying to make you seem paranoid just to fulfill their agenda. We the People right. I believe it is time for all of us to stand up and say no more no more no more.REPORT COMMENTS

1) What gives DHS the right to investigate the father of the children with no foundation of any abuse after the ex wife and mother of the children has beat the kids and been doing drugs? I have a constitutional right to raise and care for my children without undue interference by the state. I think this is undue. 2) What gives the courts the right to take away my future? My divorce. Because of the divorce not moving forward, I can?t seek any kind of child support and the mother has taken no responsibility financially for the children. I can?t move on with my future at all. So my ex is still controlling my life. 3) How does the courts and DHS have a right to violate the privacy of a 3rd party being my fiancé? The abuse was not caused by me or her or in our household. It was caused by the mother 2.5 hours away. 4) She was convicted of 3 counts of child neglect. The judge placed a 5 year NCO order except supervised visits by DHS or counselor. Now the DA and DHS wants to modify that so the mothers mom can supervise visits. Really. If the mom does do anything inappropriate, do you think the mom of my ex is going to report it? 5) What gives the GAL to be judge, jury and executioner in this kind of case? Basically, she does not like me or my fiancé therefore is making our lives hell. How can we move forward as a loving family when we have her telling us that if we have a discussion and something comes out wrong, I am mentally abusing the kids, but if we don?t have conversations we are ignoring them and abusing them. I feel that these cases need to be under some control and some due process. DHS job is not to open investigations and run them thru without due process. And I have a constitutional right to raise my children without undue interference. Yet, since the mother of the children did this, I am being put thru the ringer. I feel this should be handled as a separate case. If they have an issue with me, investigate it with professional investigators. Not the GAL judgement. THIS NEEDS FIXED AND IM NOT THE ONLY ONE GOING THRU THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR BY DHS AND THE JUVENILE COURTS.REPORT COMMENTS

We are currently involved in a CINA case involving 5 children of my niece. Three of the children have been removed from her home, but the two youngest still remain wth her. DHS has bent over backwards to leave these children in her home despite recommendations from the children's therapists and GAL that they be removed. I think there are always two sides to these stories and I don't think DHS at least in Pottawattamie county are erroneously removing children from their parents. If anything, we have found just the opposite. Failure to remove endangered children due to concern for parental rights.REPORT COMMENTS

My husband committed suicide while coming to Iowa for a visit I blacked out they said that I was under the influence of drugs and alcohol I did have some substances in my bloodstream from previous days I was not under the influence at that time but because I was found unresponsive I was rushed to the ER. I did not know who I was not where I was I had a blackout moment behind the stress of my husbands suicide and the loss of my home. they have failed to listen to anything that I have said and said that I love my son alone in danger but he was never left alone he was left with another adult and his 13-year-old daughter he has admitted to leaving my son with her they have criminalize me at this time this same gentleman took off and took thousands of dollars out of my bank account life insurance that was left to me I filed a claim against the bank and with the police department I am still be in accused of having a drug problem alcohol problem blacking out and leaving my son unattended they took my child and I have fought very hard to get him back I relocated to the state of Iowa to fight and get him back even though we were resident of Colorado. How they managed to even get my medical records that I did not sign off on is beyond me I feel like my ride for violated I was a victim of a crime drugged and Rob money taken car taken but yeah I was criminalized. It has now been a year I have followed the program I have successfully complete everything they asked me to do including drug treatment passing of all UAs intensive therapy great reviews from all doctors and counselors even the foster care review board was in favor of reunification. Good report from my therapist saying that I am not a danger to my child. Any physical almonds I may have does not impact the way that I can care for my child having fibromyalgia and digestive problems. they have put my family through the ringer I have completed everything successfully to get my son back I feel like they are discriminating against me because of my husband suicide and things that happened to me years and years ago. I feel like the case is full of lies Dhs has been allowed to lie and lie and write things in reports. That are not factual the case has had three different Gardean Adlitehm, I have had two different lawyers myself the DHS worker has changed twice everyone in this case has changed except for the LSI worker and the judge himself has taken a leave of absence because of colon cancer but was still able to make a ruling on the case. everything in this case needs to be reviewed and looked at once again I am in the process of an appeal and looking to get the state legislature involved. The system is broken. DHS workers are not trained properly to make such decisions I do believe a lot of it is based on personal opinion and each case is different from the other.!REPORT COMMENTS

I've had a on going case since 2012 where my daughter was sexually abused. Dhs in Butler County Iowa opened investigation. Trying to turn it into a neglect case even after "FOUNDED" on sexual abuse they have kept my daughter in foster care. My two other little ones I was pushed to sign guardianship papers to there aunt. And on the Dhs paper work they have the man who sexually abused my daughter his name on paper work is written 5 different ways, not once having the correct man. That's even after me confronting 5 different workers to correct it. To this day it's a on going case and a fight to me to get my girls back. I always took care of them and loved them. Dhs is twisted and how is it possible to after 4 years still not have a final report.REPORT COMMENTS

The DHS has ruined my life I lost my job because of the stress and time I had off from work I couldn't work under the kind of stress and harsement and lies they put me under. For almost 6 years now I haven't been able to work or find gainfull employment. I really would like to tell my story The Dhs in butler / Bremer listen to my teenage daughter and placed her in homes that where friends of the Dhs worker where she had free run which is what she wanted because she wanted to become amspated so her and her boy friend could be together. They placed her in a home that was friends of the counselor who used her social Security money that she received from her deceased father for their home remodel, it was more then what they would have got from a regular foster placement. Everyone one in this situation my child got her way she kicked and abused me and I'm the one who has suffered my husband hated the state workers he use to say they try to make the parent look like the bad person destroy what good parents try to teach their children to be responsible adults that's job security for them they have the best wages and benifits in the tax payers dime I have been approached by Dr Phill to tell my story a few years ago but because of the imbarsment declined but hope to get the chance again.REPORT COMMENTS

Dhs and the juvenile court system needs a complete overhaul. Families are being destroyed by overzealous social workers abusing their power, and the GAL, county attorney and judge turn a blind eye to the insanity! They all need to be held accountable for denying families due process and violating their civil rights. The complete system is fraudulent and corrupt! "In the best interest of the children" is to be with their parents, siblings and extended families. With all the money that is used for fostercare and adoption, it should be used to keep these families together!!! The whole government should be ashamed of yourselves/themselves for allowing kids for cash and court ordered child trafficking to continue! Who gives you the right to take away our children that are apart of us, that have our DNA? I gave birth to my children therefore they are my children and no amount of money, court orders or fake birth certificates will ever change that! Stop kidnapping our children!REPORT COMMENTS

My brother and his abusive wife had their children taken by dhs. DHS specifically a lady named Jill tortured my brother wih twlling him first, that he was not one of the children's father. My brother has a disability and he was not offered help of any kind. Instead they down played everything he did even though he jumped through hoops. His wife however refused counselling so he went on his own. They placed all blame on him. I realize that both parents need to put in the effort so I understand he was not able to care for the girls, which is why my mother and I helped him up until his wife threw us out. After that is when everything went downhill. His wife had a paid lawyer, he had a court appointed. All family who tried to foster were nearly immediately denied for one reason or another. Grandparents were told they were too old, yet I now find out the kids had been placed and adopted by an older couple. The kids have been told my family is nothing but drug addicts (drugs were never found). They were also told my brother went to prison and that none of us wanted them and that my brother and his wife jumped at the chance of signing the girls over(obviously bs as it tore our family to shreds). I was in the home constantly before that and I was never asked questions or to testify. Jill broke my brothers heart and spirit then told him his wife was signing and if he didnt want to make it bad on himself or the girls and it woukd end badly for him. So he reluctantly signed. I remember his wife jumping at signing but she didnt take care of the kids anyway and completely resented their existance. They fought about it and eventually she had him reduce to signing as well. The one child evidently was not his and at 21 she has been told about and encouraged to see her bio father who actually has been in and out of jail and prison for child endangerment, forgeries, and domestic violence. Yet told to stay clear of our family who has not since then since they had been 2 and 3. This Jill needs to be investigated. I understand maybe the adopted parents were told lies but even if every had not wanted them why would someone who loves a child even say that to the child? I have no ill will towards them but I don't like the fact they were supposedly removed for abuse to be put in an abusive home and encouraged to seek out a seriously dangerous felon who had never even set eyes on his daughter. This does not sit well with me as it seems they would be ok with him seeing her only because he had and has no actual knowledge of her living condition before removal not does he have any clue how the termination was handled. I have no faith in this system at all. Jill should be fired as she has been doing this to families for 18 years. Yet she recieves high compliments from her peers and the dhs community. I am so hurt that these kids have been hurt so deeply thinking their birth family actually celebrated their absence. Why, what kind of sick people are working this iowa dhs? OurREPORT COMMENTS
